Chapter Two-The Party

    Charlie and I ate at the lodge than we left to Edward’s house. Edward was waiting on the porch. Charlie left and Edward and I went inside. The inside of the Cullen’s house looked like a dance club, but so much better. Alice must have gone way overboard again. It was almost eight o’clock, so guest should be joining us soon.
    Jess, Angela, Mike, Ben, Lauren, and Eric were the first to come. I found out I barely knew anybody here.
    “The mutt is still not here, but I cant see anything” Alice said as we passed her. “Bella wait here. Alice and I are going to talk to Carlisle.” Edward said. “No I’m coming too.” I said. “No stay enjoy your party.” he said trying to comfort me, and he was gone. I sighed and started to find Angela, but someone called my name, “Isabella?” I turned to see who it was but he was not familiar. ”Bella” I corrected him.
    “Well Bella do I look familiar to you?” he asked. “no 당신 look completely unfamiliar to me.” I replied.” Look into my eyes, feel my skin.” he said while touching my arm, it was cold as ice, colder than Edward’s skin. He lifted his finger to my chin and made me look into his eyes, they were bright topaz.
    “Oh 당신 must be one of Edward’s friends.” I said. “he’ll be back soon, he went to speak to Carlisle .”
    “Well 당신 can say we were friends” he mumbled mysteriously. I eyed him carefully.
    “Bella, could 당신 come outside with me so we can talk without humans that don’t know wont hear us?” he asked.
    “Umm…er…I guess as long as we’re back in soon, so Edward doesn’t worry.” I said hesitantly.
    “Okay” he said.
    We headed outside. He stopped in front of his car. (big, white, square, van)”Bella this is only going to hurt a little” he said only made for me to hear. “What…” I started but every thing went black and hurt

really, really bad. I believe he punched me in the face, but it was much worst then that, I think it was because he was a vampire, but I didn’t know for sure. It could have been days, hours, minutes, 또는 초 but I could feel again. It felt like I was on a fuzzy couch. I didn’t expect that , I expected a cold ground.
    “It took a long time for 당신 to wake up.” he sounded all fuzzy like James did when he was stalking me, “I shouldn’t have hit 당신 so hard, I forgot how easy 당신 humans are.” He came up to me with an ice pack and offered it to me. “My hands are as cold as the ice but 당신 probably don’t want me to just touch it.” I reached for it and realized I only had one eye open. “How did I get here, who are you, and for one where are we?” I yelled.
    “No need to yell I’m right here and I could probably here 당신 in the other room if 당신 whispered. For one I’m not telling 당신 where we are and my name is Keith, and I drove 당신 here in my van.” I really was confused now. ”Okay ‘Keith’ why cant 당신 tell me where we are?” I asked
    “Because I kidnapped 당신 of course, just so Edward will worry dead over his feet for you. Also the cut on your head is bleeding, so I’m going outside. There is 음식 on the counter.” he pointed to the 부엌, 주방 “You know we don’t eat so I got them for you. I hope 당신 like them.” then got up and walked out of the room. I went to find a bathroom but I found him 의해 the front door. That was my new destination.
    “You know 당신 wont get out if 당신 even tried, 당신 would just hurt yourself.” he said. “No I was j-just l-looking for the b-bathroom.” I shuddered my way through that nicely. ”Just through that door.” he pointed towards a door. “Can I take a 샤워 to clean this up?” I asked “Sure, umm I guess.” he said.
    I knew if I gained his trust he might not kill me.
